I am back and right now very determined to see what I can do and hopefully get caught up in how much better I will feel.  I have gained another 8 pounds in the last 2 months and am the highest I have ever been. I am diabetic and have been working on doing better but would often give in to emotional eating and grab something quicker and unhealthy. My sugars are a bit high and bad cholesterol is too high. Some time back I tried statins for cholesterol but wound up having side effects (severe muscle weakness)  

So I have been on ezetimibe for cholesterol, really focusing on keeping foods legal and balanced (protein, veggies, light carbs, fruit, nuts and a smidge of dairy.) Also have been checking BP as that was actually.    My sugars are pretty good (except I still have the first morning one a little higher than normal) and the BP is going down 

Wondering when you guys usually do your weigh ins?  I have not gotten on the scale since the Dr office which was Wednesday. 

PS Cross your fingers and say a prayer as I found out earler  today that I need to check in with and spend some time with my sister (who is suffering with dementia which is getting far worse. )  I have to work tommorrow so will be spending time with her on Sunday, I just need to hang on tight because I tend to stress eat up until and after I deal with her. I love her dearly, but it is very difficult.
